DESCRIPTION:Self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots display discrete ele
 ctronic energy levels coupled by optical transitions and they are governed
  by spin-dependent optical selection rules. This opens an optical channel 
 to control and detect a single spin in a quantum dot and significant progr
 ess was witnessed based on this property in the field of quantum informati
 on science. In the quest to suppress the detrimental effects of the enviro
 nment\, quantum metrology emerged as a recent topic of research with poten
 tial applications. Excitonic transitions of self-assembled quantum dots ca
 n depend strongly on the ambient electric and magnetic fields\, as well as
  strain. We will discuss how this susceptibility can be utilized in return
  for electric field sensing with sensitivity better than 1 V/m/√Hz and w
 e will continue on to other avenues of quantum metrology using self-assemb
 led quantum dots.
